Probably cos staples is being taken over and closing stores so maybe reducing stock

Could be store specific. Why the hot votes when no confirmation from elsewhere? Maybe someone can say if they've seen them in other Staples on Sunday.

Who really cares about voting!It's still a great price even if only one person gets one. The OP did and posted it to potentially help others. Everything else is irrelevant.

Not it's not. The OP said that he was told by someone in Staples that it was national, but no one else has confirmed this (yet). If you went out specifically to get this, and found out that wasn't the case, you'd be pretty p***ed off after spending time & (petrol/bus/train) money on a wild goose chase. As I said, could be store-specific and the employee was making baseless assumptions. We'll see - hopefully it will be nationwide.

Anyone who goes looking for one of these and is as you say 'p***ed off' is a fool.Just one employee has stated "lot's of stores are selling at the same price" which even if correct still makes it pot luck.Use a bit of common sense and see that the odds are against you and if you want to risk it so be it but being 'p***ed off' for taking a gamble is silly.As for the voting, who cares, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of sheep and idiots on this site so if you worry about the voting that says more about you than the voting.

I think you're slightly missing the point of this site. ​'Anyone who goes looking for this is a fool'. OK, so why bother posting it in the first place, if anyone who subsequently goes looking for it is a fool? Very odd logic. Worry about voting? Not really, but it does supposedly add validity so was asking why the hot votes for a fairly sketchy 'deal' at this point (fine if you live on Teeside though). Maybe you should tell the owners of HUKD that voting is pointless and that they need to completely rethink their business model.

Thanks OP

You've completely changed what Agharta said to suit your own opinion. What he is basically saying is you are stupid if you go to one of these stores specifically for this deal and then get yourself in a tantrum because they have none in stock or isn't on offer at your local store. It's the luck of the game with HUKD some deals are nationwide and some aren't it's the gamble you take, no one forces you to make a special trip just for a potential deal.

My only aim was to help people looking for an Ipad for Christmas. Staples is not a store I would typically associate with buying apple things (the same for others as well given the comments).

I cant confirm its national, I can only say what the shopping assistant told me. Given the savings though, if I was someone else and it was on my shopping list I would at least call my local staples.

how come 90% of deals are from op!!!!

18th Dec 2016

Op beat me to posting this deal as I was too busy yesterday to post it.

It is national if the store still has stock. The offer is 30% off iPad Mini 4 16gb & 64gb Wifi.

Gateshead branch doesn't have stock as I was there yesterday. They cleared them out back in October but I was able to get someone else to pick one up for me at another branch.

Harlow had someone come and buy all the stock yesterday (8, I think she said) , the lady said they person asked her to check stock in Stevenage as they were going to do the same.

Only one left was the display model which I bought, there are marks on the back from the anti theft stuff, so they gave me an extra 20% off, meaning it cost me £179.30.
